What to Expect When You Sign In
Enter your registered email and password on the login screen, then confirm your identity with a one-time passcode sent to your phone — that two-step check keeps your account locked down.

New to draftkings? The account creation form asks for your name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number for identity verification, which is a standard requirement under state licensing rules. After verification clears, your account wallet is active and linked to whatever payment method you choose at setup —
PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ are all available where supported. Lost your password? The reset link lands in your inbox within a few minutes. If your account shows as locked after multiple failed attempts, live chat support can walk you through the unlock process.

How We Keep Your Login Safe
Your account credentials and wallet details sit behind multiple security layers — not just a password. SSL encryption covers every data transfer between your device and our servers. Identity verification at signup means only you can access the account tied to your name and SSN. We also monitor login activity for unusual patterns, like a sign-in from a new device or location, and can prompt an additional verification step automatically.
SSL Encryption
Every login request and wallet transaction travels over an encrypted connection. Your credentials and payment details are never sent in plain text across the network.
Identity Verification
The SSN check at signup ties your account to a verified identity, which means no one else can create a duplicate account under your name or access your wallet.
Device Activity Monitoring
If we detect a sign-in from an unfamiliar device, we trigger an extra verification step before granting access — your balance stays protected even if your password leaks.
Data Protection Standards
Account data is stored under data-protection practices consistent with state requirements. Your personal and payment information is never sold or shared with third-party advertisers.
Having Trouble Signing In?
If your login isn't going smoothly — wrong credentials, a locked account, or a verification code that isn't arriving — there are a few direct paths to get you back in. Live chat is accessible from the Help icon inside the app or on the website. For account lockouts specifically, the support team can verify your identity and restore access. Email support handles more detailed cases where documentation may be needed, such as a name mismatch from the identity check.
Fund Your Account After Logging In
After you sign in, your account wallet is one tap away. Deposits via PayPal and Venmo typically reflect before your next page load — link the app once and it stays connected. Play+ is a prepaid card tied directly to your draftkings wallet, useful for fast deposits and same-session withdrawals without cycling back through a bank. Access to payment methods depends on your state and what your account has been verified for.
PayPal
Link your PayPal account once inside account settings. Deposits route straight to your draftkings wallet and are available for betting almost immediately.
Venmo
Venmo transfers connect to your draftkings balance through the same wallet screen. Available in supported states; verify your Venmo account before first use.
Play+
Play+ is a draftkings prepaid card you reload from your account. It keeps deposits and withdrawals inside one ecosystem without involving your bank each time.
